Compaq Laptop CQ60-615DX Little white light beside the dc jack blinking repeatedly non-stop
Compaq Laptop CQ60-615DX white light next to where you plug in the power cable keeps blinking. Never stops Blinking. Computer doesn't power on.
The DC jack is loose, took the laptop apart, pressed down on the dc jack to hold it in place, and stuck the power cable back in. Tried to wiggle the cable around to see if the jack is bad. But it feels pretty solid, it's just the housing holding the dc jack in place that's broken.
But I'm still getting the little white light beside the dc jack blinking repeatedly non-stop. No system power.
Question is.
1. Is the DC power jack bad and needs to be replaced or.
2. There is a short in the motherboard and the motherboard needs to be replaced.
I have check all over the internet for what the white light blinking means. I've found no answer.
Could someone please tell me what is wrong with this computer?
I already encouted this problem yesterday and I want to share this information on how I was able to fix this issue where in the dc jack blinking repeatedly and the laptop wont turn on. This issue is resulted due to overheat so laptop automatically shutdown and results to some kind of hibernation.
1. First you need to dissamble your laptop (compaq cq60). To clean the exhaust fan. I cleaned it because it was very dirty. I used my laptop for almost five years. If you dont know how to dissamble your laptop, you can check the tutorial from youtube. Just be very careful.
2. After Removing all the parts you can use a brush to remove all the dust inside your laptop. After cleaning all the dirt inside the laptop you need to let the motherboard cool for 1 to 1.5 hrs.
3. When you put the dc jack dont put the battery. So once you plugged the DC jack you can see if the light beside the jack still blinking or steady.
4. Once the light is steady., you can now power on your laptop. and a message will appear that your laptop overheated.
5. You can use cooling fan to prevent from heating.
6. Clean the parts inside your laptop every half year. to remove dust that cause the exhaust fan not to work properly.
Now I was able to use my laptop again.
Best Regards to All!

A beeping sound, along with a little white light blinking on/off on my MacBook Pro?
My MacBook Pro is making a loud beeping sound along with a little white light blinking on and off at the bottom of the keyboard. None of the keys are working so I do not have the ability to shut it down. Any idea how to stop the beeping sound?
Apple One to One is a paid service which has to be purchased when the computer is purchased.

Appointments at the Genius Bar however are free (evaluation, troubleshooting, etc) - repairs would have to be paid for if out of warranty. -
Hi,
My powermac G5 running leopard, 1gb ram, was running fine on friday and i left it running over the weekend. when i returned on monday it had powered down and the little white light was on permanently (ie not slowing flashing). I pressed it and nothing happened. i pressed and held it and nothing happened ( the light stayed on and the computer remained powered down). so i turned the computer off at the mains, after about a minute the light went off, i plugged it back in and it made no difference, the light came back on and computer remained off and pressing it did nothing.
i unplugged the mac for about 15 minutes, plugged it back it and the little white light came back on, pressing it did nothing and the computer remained off.
What can i do!!! what has happened!!!
please someone help me.Wait...I can't find the answer. I had the same problem today, Feb. 19. Crazy! I just put Leopard on as well.

I would like to inquire about how I could have my iPad 2 repaired or replaced. I bought it With a credit card via apple store website last June 19 of this year. At first, I already noticed a little white spot in the middle of the screen visible when the display on screen is dark. I thought this was okay. Now, My problem with it is that, it now has green discolorations at the center whenever the screen display is black or dark I.e. When a website's color is black or dark or whenever I go to the search interface.
I am from the Philippines.
Please attend to this inquiry as promptly as possible. I'm sorry I have to send it here since I cannot see any email or inquiry page on the apple website. I also cannot reach the toll free number on my mobile phone.
Thank you very much.
<Serial Number Edited by Host>You can find out how to get service for your iPad on this web page:

My Apple TV white light on the front of the box flashes continously.There is no response from the remote.
On the TV there is a picture of an appleTV box with a USB cable and an I-Tunes logo.
I do not have a micro usb cable.Is the only route to fixing this problem to download syestem software via my PC
and I-Tunes?Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device) -
Compaq Laptop make noise and can't open the windows.. Noise at HardDisk part

Hi Hawaiian_Starman,
Thank you for the suggestion.
I ran the first aid in the Keychain both for verification and for repair and both immediately returned with "no problems found".
As for the certificate, according the web administrator nothing had changed for the certificates.
even on the windows laptop I also get the certificate as being expired, but by simply accepting that I still have access.
I had a pop up every time that alerted me to the certificate issue, but whether I "continued" or not that still did not matter.
Yesterday, in an effort to find a solution, I went into the "details" and entered to trust this website.
Now that certificate issue does not pop up anymore. But I do not know how to reverse that either.
I have the feeling indeed it has something to do with a certificate, but how is the question. -
There is a small white light in the retina display on my ipad 3. Is this a dead pixel/light leak and how do I fix it? (Located at the bottom left side between home button and left corner)
Maybe this will show up better in green.

Hello, when viewing our site on an IPad, there is a little white square at the bottom of the screen.

Try giving it a reset. Hold the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red powerdown slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.

Just trying out my new mac but email won't load, error says "The mail server denied access to the account because an administrator or other mail client was using it when Mail tried to log in. Try again later." A little lock is beside the email inbox account, no password prompted and account is online and enabled... Thoughts?
Have you tried clicking on the lock to see it it will then ask for a passwored. Otherwise, try reblooting.

Iphone screen is basically black, but sound still works aswell as the light beside the camera
Hi. I have an iphone 4s and the screen is barely readable. it is nearly completely black. The light beside the camera seems to come on every time that I turn on the phone but yet the screen doesn't seem to come on. i have restored the iphone and done everything it says in other forums but yet nothing is working. it is on the set up screen ready to set up as a new iphone but it is so hard to see everything that i cannot set it up. im planning on bringing it back to vodafone tomorrow to see if they can do anything. Any suggestions on what to do?
Sounds like it may be a hardware issue.
Did the issue happen over time or did something cause it (dropped it, water, etc.) -

What is the little hole next to the headphone jack for?
What is the little hole next to the headphone jack for? Not the SIM card eject on the side. The similar hole near the headphone jack.
The hole on the top is your noise cancellation for phone calls and application VOIPs. It may also be used on other kinds of apps such as memos and video recordings.
